Absolute oils are the essential
oils which are highly concentrated and have high potency. These Concentrated
absolute oils have high aromatic properties thus they are majorly preferred in
cosmetics, perfumery, and aromatherapy. During the postproduction processes
these oils are further concentrated to make their absolute.
Peach, (Prunus persica), fruit tree of the
rose family (Rosaceae), grown throughout the warmer temperate regions of both
the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Peaches are widely eaten fresh and are
also baked in pies and cobblers; canned peaches are a staple commodity in many
regions. Yellow-fleshed varieties are especially rich in vitamin A.
The peach probably originated in China and
then spread westward through Asia to the Mediterranean countries and later to
other parts of Europe. The Spanish explorers took the peach to the New World,
and as early as 1600 the fruit was found in Mexico. For centuries the
cultivation and selection of new varieties of peaches were largely confined to
the gardens of the nobility, and large-scale commercial peach growing did not
begin until the 19th century, in the United States. The early plantings were
seedling peaches, inevitably variable, and often of poor quality. The practice
of grafting superior strains onto hardy seedling rootstocks, which came later
in the century, led to the development of large commercial orchards.
Essential oils are distilled from
the aromatic leaves, bark, and roots of plants. If applied to the skin
directly, they can cause reactions, such as severe irritation, redness or
burning.
